Children considered at risk of exploitation and harm outside the home
Where children are referred to Children Social Care and there is an identified contextual risk or exploitation, a Child Exploitation Indicator Tool will be completed alongside the referral by the lead professional. Where the overarching concerns is that of exploitation, the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub will determine whether the child will be directly referred to the specific multi-agency exploitation team, Horizon. Where significant exploitation concerns are identified, this will lead to a Multi-Agency Child Exploitation Meeting that will take place alongside an assessment under Section 17 or Section 47.
